Wix Online Programs: Managing Your Program Participants
Participants are essential to your online programs. From the participants list, you can manage them as needed – invite new people to join, track your participants' progress and communicate with them directly. You can also filter the list to find specific participants faster. Understanding the differences between contacts, members, and subscribers helps you manage your participants effectively.

Before you begin:
Make sure your site is published and upgraded to allow participants to join your program.
For programs that are in progress with fixed start and end dates, make sure to invite participants before these programs begin.
Enrolling participants in your program
Invite participants to your programs by adding them directly, emailing them invite links, copying and pasting invite links, or including a link in an email campaign.
You can also connect Wix mobile apps to give participants a better way to access your program on mobile. Depending on your business, you can guide them to Spaces by Wix, Fit by Wix, or your own native mobile app to help them join, learn, and stay engaged on the go. Learn more about how participants join your program from a Wix mobile app in the FAQs below.

Click the relevant program.
Choose how you want to invite participants:

Click Invite Participants on the top right of your screen.
Click Invite to Program under Invite participants.
Type the email of the site member(s) you want to invite or select them from the list.
Click Invite to Program.

Add site members manually
Give site members free access to your program by manually enrolling them. This action overrides your pricing plans. It means that members who aren't currently paying get full access to the program's content. To charge members for the program, use the "Invite Participants" action instead.
Click Invite Participants on the top right of your screen.
Click Add to Program under Add participants.
Type the email of the site member(s) you want to invite or select them from the list.

Share an invite link
Copy the invite link to your program for easy sharing; it directs people to the program page where they can view details and join or request to join.
Note: This option does not appear for secret online programs.
Click Invite Participants on the top right of your screen.
Click Copy Link.
Paste the link wherever you want to share it (e.g. social media, WhatsApp, email).

Manage pending requests for private programs
When you create a private program, individuals can request to join without your direct invitation. You will only see pending requests from people who discover your program on your live site and choose to request access. Pending requests will not appear for invites that you send directly to others.
You have the option to either approve or decline these requests based on your preferences.
Click View Requests under Participants.

Choose what you want to do next:
Approve: Accept the request to allow the person to join your program.
Decline: Reject the request to remove it and prevent the person from joining your program.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more.
Why can't I invite participants to my program?
If you cannot invite participants to your program, check the following:
If you have not already done so, add Online Programs to your site. Some Wix templates already include Online Programs, making it easier for you to get started.
Make sure your site is published.
You must upgrade your site so people can start joining your program.
It's not possible to invite participants to programs in progress with fixed start and end dates. Make sure to invite participants before these programs are set to start.
How do participants join my program on mobile?
Participants can join your site and access your program from a Wix mobile app. The exact flow depends on where the invite link was created and which app your site is connected to.
If you copied the invite link from your site’s dashboard, participants usually open the program’s visitor page first. From there, they can continue to the relevant mobile app.
If you send the invite from the Wix app, participants who open it on mobile are directed to the relevant mobile app. If they open it on desktop, they may see a web page that prompts them to install the app.
Which app do participants use to join my program?
The app participants use depends on your mobile app setup. If your site uses Spaces by Wix, participants are directed there. If Fit by Wix is set as your preferred member app, participants are directed to Fit by Wix instead.
If your own native mobile app is live in the app stores, it becomes your preferred app automatically.
Learn more about choosing your preferred app for your members.
Why do participants need to log in again in the mobile app?
Even if someone already created an account on your site in a browser, they may still need to sign up or log in when opening the mobile app for the first time. This happens because the mobile app has its own login flow.
Their site membership, access, progress, and permissions still stay connected to the same site account.
Can I export a file of all my participants?
Yes. Click Export CSV in your participants list to get a CSV file with your participants' progress emailed to you. If you do not receive the email, go to Wix Automations in your site’s dashboard and make sure the Inform owners participant data is exported automation is enabled. If you want to change or review this automation, learn more about managing your automations.

How many participants can I add to a program if I have a free site?
If you have a free site, you can add one participant at a time for all programs. You have the flexibility to replace the participant as needed.
Tip: Upgrade your site so you can have more than one person join your program.
How do I choose which Wix mobile app participants use?
Choose which Wix mobile app you want participants to use to access your program on the go. Learn more about the Wix mobile apps.
How do I hide the total participants on my live site?
In your editor, you can select the program list to access its display settings. There you can show or hide details about your program such as total participants, price, and more.
What can I learn about my participants?
Here is the information you can find about your participants by viewing their profile:
If they have started your program: You can see which participants have begun your program and which haven't yet taken any lessons.
The date they joined your program: You can view the exact date each participant joined your program.
When they were last active: You can track when participants were last active in your program, providing insight into their engagement levels.
A calendar that tracks their scheduled steps, completed steps, and/or missed steps: This handy calendar lets you see each participant's progress through your program, helping you identify those who need extra support or who are excelling.
Feedback they've left for each step (if available): If your program allows for participant feedback, you can view their comments and suggestions.
Why aren’t people automatically added to my program after purchasing a plan?
If you connected a pricing plan to your program, but people are not being added automatically, make sure the Automatically add subscribers to these programs when they purchase this plan checkbox is selected.
Go to Pricing Plans in your site's dashboard.
Click the relevant plan to edit it.
Scroll to the Benefits section.
Select the Automatically add subscribers to these programs when they purchase this plan checkbox.
Note: If this checkbox is not selected, people who purchase the plan are not added to the program automatically.
